I was busking in a restaurant this week and got a Love Letter in my hat. It was from a six or seven year old girl and said "Thank you Paddy. I like the balloons. I think you are a very funny clown. Love Jessica"

It is framed and in my living room so I can remember the real value of being an entertainer

I thought I'd resurect this old topic and see what new replys I get.
The other day I was out with Neil in southampton and we got a magic trick from another performer and some flovoured iced tea from some promo people.

Other than that I've had a half empty packet of cigarets and foriegn currency.

- People telling me firebreathing is bad for your health while smoking

- Invitations for dinners / parties
Finding myself later in a posh bathroom later, sipping a sangria, or staying for a couple of days with a crazy family in South Africa

- While performing in Czech: the smallest dutch coin, from the only dutch family that was watching the show

- 25 guilders (app. $15) after setting a building on fire
I was performing in fron of a huge brick building, a guy shouted: 25 guilders if you set the building on fire. So I soaked one of the corners in oil, blew some flames at it, and there it was: the building on (harmless) fire.

I got a swanky pingpng ball shooter from you! that was the coolest thing...though coming from the dollar store it had launching power of about 1 foot...and I think the balls all ended up on the party floor under the couch and in the back yard...

i was given a seflopod fossil the size of a 20p coin from a deranged young woman in covent garden;
i am unsure about the seflopod spelling? but its a small snail like thingy that lived ages ago? she said, i liked your show so much, here have my lucky fossil.
thankyou

-Some teenage boy's sweaty dew rag (nice gesture, I guess?? ...if it was the most valuable thing he could give away.)
-A huge wad of Honduran cash, which looked great in the buckets. I carried it in my wallet for about 6 months before remembering to exchange it for the equivalent of a large Tim Horton's Coffee. Which was conveniently next door to the exchange place.
